You can cook whole shrimps (with shells and all) and skip the making of shrimp broth. Make sure to cook the shrimp briefly and not at the same time as the veggies or they will be tough and rubbery.

I like my Ginataan Kalabasa where the squash is almost mushy and the sauce is thick, but that's a personal preference. Cook your veggies up to the stage that you like them.

Add a pinch of sugar if your squash is not sweet enough for your taste. Also, you may want to add some cornstarch dissolved in little water if your don't have coconut cream or your sauce is not thick enough.
